"Mortal Kombat 1 Unveils Secret Fighter Inspired by Iconic Rock Band"

This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a significant update that thrilled fans by introducing Conan the Barbarian into the fray. However, there was a surprising addition that went unannounced—a secret fighter named Floyd, a ninja dressed in vibrant pink. While it might sound like a playful gimmick, Floyd is indeed a legitimate character and a delightful Easter egg for fans.

Floyd pays homage to the iconic rock band Pink Floyd, drawing inspiration from the cover art of their seminal album, *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which famously depicts the dispersion of light into a spectrum of colors. In terms of gameplay, Floyd is a versatile fighter, borrowing moves from other well-known ninjas in the *Mortal Kombat* universe. He can freeze opponents like Sub-Zero and deploy spears similar to Scorpion. Adding to his unique charm, Floyd comes with a health pool of 1337 points, a nod to the gaming culture's slang for "elite."

For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd's introduction might evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the original *Mortal Kombat* game's secret fighter, Reptile. Like Reptile, who was notoriously difficult to unlock and whose moveset was a blend of other ninjas', Floyd brings a similar nostalgic thrill.

Currently, the *Mortal Kombat* community is buzzing with excitement, trying to decipher the method to encounter Floyd. His appearances seem somewhat random, but Floyd drops hints about specific challenges that need to be completed. While the exact method remains unconfirmed, the hunt for this elusive pink ninja adds an extra layer of engagement and fun to the game.
